After parking the car precisely in front of Zhang Yaoyao, Xiao Zifeng quickly got out of the driver's seat, opened the passenger seat, made a gentleman's gesture before getting in the car, and said cooperatively.
"Get in the car, beautiful Zhang Yaoyao!"
Zhang Yaoyao was speechless. She glanced at Xiao Zifeng, who was both amused and helpless, and sat in the passenger seat.
The car sped all the way back to Fushou Street and stopped precisely in front of the New Vision Clothing Store. Zhang Yaoyao unbuckled her seat belt, opened the car door and said goodbye to Xiao Zifeng.
"Xiao Zifeng, thank you for your invitation. I had a great time tonight. Thank you for your help in getting me a group purchase order."
Xiao Zifeng sat in the driver's seat, his arms resting on the steering wheel, his slender fingers placed on his lips, and he said with a nonchalant look.
"Zhang Yaoyao, you're welcome. Didn't we say we're friends? Friends should always be there for you!"
In fact, Xiao Zifeng wanted to say that everything he did for Zhang Yaoyao was just to pursue Zhang Yaoyao, but the timing and place were wrong, so Xiao Zifeng changed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
As for Zhang Yaoyao, when Xiao Zifeng said this, she felt inexplicably relieved. She was afraid that Xiao Zifeng would confess his feelings to her at this time.
In fact, she really just treated Xiao Zifeng as a friend, and she didn't give him any hints to let him act as a matchmaker to facilitate the group purchase order between her and Xiao Mingyuan.
Zhang Yaoyao is such a smart person, how could she not see that Xiao Mingyuan is interested in her and wants to pursue her, so why would she let him find business for her? She didn't want to be burdened with such a huge debt of gratitude.
But Xiao Zifeng took the initiative to place a group purchase order for her, and she repeatedly asked Xiao Mingyuan to think carefully before cooperating with her. Fortunately, all of Xiao Mingyuan's actions and attitudes showed that he was not cooperating with him just because Xiao Zifeng was pursuing Zhang Yaoyao. He valued the quality and style of the clothes she made more, and her sincere dedication to her career touched him, which made Zhang Yaoyao feel less uncomfortable.
After all, she still owed Xiao Zifeng a favor. Fortunately, Xiao Zifeng's words and deeds only meant that they were friends, so Zhang Yaoyao's psychological burden was not so heavy, and she smiled and waved her hand.
"You're right, we are friends. Thank you for everything you've done for me. I have no way to repay you, so I can only treat you to a cup of milk tea every day!"
“Puff!”
Xiao Zifeng was immediately amused by Zhang Yaoyao's words and teased her.
"Okay, for your daily cup of milk tea, I'll have to continue introducing group purchase orders to you in the future. Otherwise, I'll be embarrassed to come to your place for milk tea."
Xiao Zifeng's words finally put Zhang Yaoyao's heart at ease. She got out of the car, closed the door, and waved.
"Okay, then it's a deal. From now on, whenever you have time and pass by my place in the morning, I'll leave you a cup of milk tea in the store."
Xiao Zifeng looked deeply at Zhang Yaoyao who was standing outside the car. Out of the corner of his eye, he accurately caught a glimpse of a tall figure in the darkness and waved his hand helplessly.
"Okay, I'll be leaving first. Go to bed early. Good night!"
"good evening!"
With that, Xiao Zifeng started the car, which gradually drove away. While casually steering, Xiao Zifeng spotted a tall figure waiting in the darkness in the rearview mirror. After he left, he took long strides and slowly walked towards Zhang Yaoyao.
Xiao Zifeng's eyes in the rearview mirror became deeper and deeper, and he thought that it would be difficult for him to pursue Zhang Yaoyao in the future.
Zhang Yaoyao stood there, watching Xiao Zifeng's car disappear into the night. Just as she was about to turn back, she keenly noticed a dark shadow slowly walking towards her. Her heart tightened, and out of a woman's alert intuition, she was about to step back when she heard the voice of the person coming slowly from the night, low and pleasant, just like him, with a hazy time.
"Zhang Yaoyao, don't be afraid, it's me!"
This deep and pleasant voice reached Zhang Yaoyao's ears accurately, and she subconsciously called out.
"Lu Sinian!"
"Um!"
The other party hummed and slowly walked out of the night. Under the dim street lights, the man's delicate outline was exposed in the light, and his sharp profile was half bright and half dark, giving people an extremely unreal sense of charm. Zhang Yaoyao wondered.
"It's so late, why are you still here?"
It seems that this man has been waiting here for a long time. Judging from the cigarette butts scattered on the ground, it can be seen that Lu Sinian has been here for quite some time.
She had been hiding in the night, busy talking to Xiao Zifeng, and didn't notice that there was a man standing not far behind her.
Lu Sinian approached Zhang Yaoyao, his dark eyes tinged with warmth, and he spoke slowly.
"I'm waiting for you here. I'm worried it's unsafe for you to come back late alone!"
Zhang Yaoyao: “…”
There was a sudden warmth in her heart, but Zhang Yaoyao quickly woke up from this warm pink bubble and said with a faint look in her eyes.
"Thank you for your concern and waiting. It's getting late. Go back and rest early!"
If it were the Zhang Yaoyao of the past, she would probably be deeply moved by Lu Sinian's late-night waiting, but the Zhang Yaoyao of now is different. In her mind, from the moment she was kicked out by Lu Sinian, she and Lu Sinian became two completely parallel lines, clearly separated.
Now Zhang Yaoyao wants to focus on her career, career...
Lu Sinian thought that Zhang Yaoyao would not mind his late-night waiting, but he did not expect her to be so calm. A bitter smile crossed his lips, and he pretended to be calm.
"Okay, then you go first. I'll see you home before I leave!"
If one of him and Zhang Yaoyao had to turn around first, he hoped that he would be the last one to turn around. Now Lu Sinian still remembered belatedly how sad Zhang Yaoyao felt when she faced his back countless times.
The one who responded to him was Zhang Yaoyao, whose words were still calm and unperturbed.
"Okay, I'll be leaving first. You should go back and rest early. Good night!"
Lu Sinian: “…”
After saying this, Zhang Yaoyao turned decisively and strode towards the entrance of the New Vision shop. The dim streetlights illuminated the deserted street, completely dividing the worlds of Lu Sinian and Zhang Yaoyao into two parts. Lu Sinian stood in the dim light, while Zhang Yaoyao disappeared into the night, walking further and further away...
Lu Sinian stared at Zhang Yaoyao's receding back with a heavy gaze, and suddenly felt that his world... was very lonely!
“Crack!”
With the sound of Zhang Yaoyao opening the door, Lu Sinian suddenly came back to his senses from the feeling of loneliness and helplessness, and asked Zhang Yaoyao a question on her back.
"Zhang Yaoyao, can't you give me a chance to start over?"
Zhang Yaoyao paused and stopped pushing the door open.
